Mother India

Mother India, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

in silence
the pain
of her
children
she bears
tears on
the soul
of her
destiny
she shares
robbed
by her
chosen
ones
who govern
her nation
her nightmare
her dreams
ensnared
her hopes
threadbare
to fight
these demons
durga she
will become
for that day
she prepares
none she
will spare
riding
over their
dead bodies
on the market
square ..fire
ice water air
